REST IN POWER DAVID JOLICOEUR AKA TRUGOY THE DOVE AKA PLUG TWO

It is with great sadness that we say farewell to David Jolicoeur. You may know him as Plug Two or Trugoy The Dove of the legendary group De La Soul. Dave’s passing was confirmed by the group’s publicist on February 12th. Although a cause has yet to be confirmed, it has been documented that he dealt with congestive heart failure over the past few years. The timing of this is truly unfortunate as De La Soul was preparing to finally release their entire catalog of music to streaming services on March 3 after a long battle to make their music available on digital platforms. Older hip hop heads and the new generation were about to have a void filled that would explain why De La Soul’s music was so revered and it would have been wonderful for Trugoy to see the reaction to the music he put his heart and soul into in real-time. He was 54 years young. Rest in power, Dave.
